More On The TSA Uproar (Update)

Last night on the “O’Reilly Factor” on Fox News, Bill O’Reilly had on his show, Ann Coulter and her take on the TSA uproar. Ms. Coulter indeed, was very straightforward in her answers. With MANY THANKS to both PoliticsNewsNews and YouTube. Watch Video Here:

With this growing angry uproar going on at the USA airports, and IMHO,EXPECT IT to get worse during the upcoming busy holiday traveling season, what the country of Israel does in its airline security system should REALLY be given a closer look.

From The Toronto Star website:”That is, how can we make our airports more like Israel’s, which deal with far greater terror threat with far less inconvenience.

“It is mind-boggling for us Israelis to look at what happens in North America, because we went through this 50 years ago,” said Rafi Sela, the president of AR Challenges, a global transportation security consultancy. He’s worked with the RCMP, the U.S. Navy Seals and airports around the world.

“Israelis, unlike Canadians and Americans, don’t take s— from anybody. When the security agency in Israel (the ISA) started to tighten security and we had to wait in line for — not for hours — but 30 or 40 minutes, all hell broke loose here. We said, ‘We’re not going to do this. You’re going to find a way that will take care of security without touching the efficiency of the airport.”

That, in a nutshell is “Israelification” – a system that protects life and limb without annoying you to death.”

Going on further:”And rather than fear, he suggests that outrage would be a far more powerful spur to provoking that change.

“Do you know why Israelis are so calm? We have brutal terror attacks on our civilians and still, life in Israel is pretty good. The reason is that people trust their defence forces, their police, their response teams and the security agencies. They know they’re doing a good job. You can’t say the same thing about Americans and Canadians. They don’t trust anybody,” Sela said. “But they say, ‘So far, so good’. Then if something happens, all hell breaks loose and you’ve spent eight hours in an airport. Which is ridiculous. Not justifiable

“But, what can you do? Americans and Canadians are nice people and they will do anything because they were told to do so and because they don’t know any different.”

What it all comes down to is that, like a sporting event, we Americans react rather then be proactive, and it is the case when it is in regards to airline security. The lesson from the Israelis is that to ALWAYS DO THE LATTER, NOT THE FORMER.
